Reading this great interview today, it was with interest that I saw darts in Mongolia mentioned.

I have recently returned after working in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia for three weeks and it was great to see that the sport of darts is very much alive and being played in this country, and very well organised.

One of the local singles events played whilst I was there was nearly 300 players playing for 'The Eddie Norman Individual Trophy'.
which apparently has been played for annually since 1999.

I feel sure that one day some great darts players will emerge from countries like Mongolia ,Nepal and The Far East the only thing holding many darts developing countries back being finance for travel.

I was in Quebec last week from Houston for my firm's sports seminar and one of the guest speakers was Dr.Eddie Norman from the UK.

Eddie spoke on the growth of darts in Asia and The Far East where he is a regular visitor.

I learnt more from his one hour lecture on darts than from my twenty years in my throwing darts as a hobby.

Eddie spoke in French and English.

He is heading down to Atlantic City for the PDC darts next weekend and if you see him be sure to introduce yourself as I did, this was as I say the first time I had actually caught up with him , although he has visited my home city of Houston several times, I assure you his knowledge of the world wide sport of darts is unique and second to none, and he is a wonderful guy to chat with on our sport in his wonderful impeccable English accent.

Of course I enjoyed hearing it!!! But I was to busy producing the next to answer... till now as I've finished the new one ._________________"I`m an idealist. I don´t know where I am going, but I´m on my way".
